Fusing their Beatlesesque melodies with spiky rock, CT’s debut deals with dark subject matter like mass murder, suicide and pædophilia. The band had also wanted John Lennon to produce. “We asked him,” says Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen, “and our then-manager told us that he wasn’t interested. When I worked with John on Double Fantasy I asked him about it. He was like: ‘No one asked me. I would have loved to have done it!’”
